To frigid-freed heartbeats, lover's behalf,
of mindless blind mute who came from Flagstaff.
Clueless inceptions nebulously grow,
Godsend occasion leaves the dark to glow,
sparks the light of life mimic frames of minds.
Emotions indulge past regret unwinds,
intricacies of distinctions arcane.
Scattered, detached, night candle burns the stain,
shatter separateness as divisive.
Emphases realized as decisive,
conceived borders we being inherits,
everyone shares their respective merits.
Douse not our embers, but keep strong our flame,
warm the blaze to a glow from whence we came.

__________________________________________
Some seek leisure in the pristine wilderness
The solitary coast is the site of separateness
Each one is barred from harboring bitterness
The ocean thundering, roaring in its utterness
Nature fascinates me beyond my smallness
Never before impeded in the path of emptiness
From lackluster scarcity and austere emptiness
An itch for oneness in the cosmos of loneliness
We wait idly for the angel's plea for tenderness.

Pregnant pause poised in wonderment,
beholds how in-form nodes ferment,
transmuting to became God's light,
as bliss takes us to zenith height
of rapture unbound, here and now,
enabled when we so allow
the Holy Spirit to fill us,
that dark fears no longer nonplus
and thus presence in the Bardo
ascends by simply letting go
of feeling of separateness,
by entwining with That Oneness.

A Clarification
Conceived onsets by one's subjective state,
Clueless inceptions nebulously grow,
A mindless blind mute moves, rousing its fate,
Godsend occasion leaves the dark to glow.
Sparks the light of life mimic frames of minds,
Intricacies of distinctions arcane,
Emotions indulge past regret unwinds,
Scattered, detached, night candle burns the stain.
Shatter separateness as divisive,
Conceived borders we being inherits,
Emphases realized as decisive,
Everyone shares their respective merits.
Douse not our embers, but keep strong our flame,
Warm the blaze to a glow from whence we came.

Our rainbow body
The root chakra red ~
blood awakes earth dead,
grounded, yet flowing,
for higher knowing.
Sacral lust orange ~
animal urge strange,
fluidic expansion
by procreation.
Navel tinge yellow ~
power all aglow,
in fiery action,
enables traction.
Heart’s colour is green ~
breath inking love’s sheen;
the seat of our soul,
where we become whole.
Throat centre is blue ~
words glisten like dew,
shaping what’s to come,
bidding each welcome.
Third eye’s indigo ~
tranquil stillness slow,
one with That oneness,
no separateness.
Crown is violet ~
where keyword is ‘let’:
we let God fill us,
aboard His bliss bus.
Rainbow spectrum white ~
prismatic delight,
allows us to choose
hue as of soul’s muse.

To pierce the veil, we need to vaporise
Ceasing to size, receptive to surprise
Desire is a blockage
Let not fears ravage
Void of cessation is the abode of the wise
Feeling of separateness is but our delusion
Flickering awareness mars our meditation
Thus to be succinct
Recalibrate reflex instinct
That we imbibe bliss currents by resonation

Recognition key to liberation
When knowing is in definitiveness
The truth’s discerned in deep meditation
All that’s manifest, is God-consciousness
Notwithstanding this, there’s oscillation
That sinking feeling of separateness
The trick lies in exiting stagnation
In blissfulness melding with That oneness
Accepting our earth life limitation
Soul impulse prompts interconnectedness
Shift into tranquil void of cessation
Positions our heart in vibrant stillness
As bliss renews in continuation
Earth life sojourn, joyous celebration

Flicker in space, belies God’s boundless grace
Light soft white, being His luminous face
Bliss sublime then engulfs us in fullness
Rapture unending, heightened blissfulness
Feeling complete, no puzzles left to lace
No sooner we here exit the rat race
Rest ego cravings with God-search replace
Ends our delusion of separateness
Flicker in space
God dwells in cave of heart, the holy place
Let us meld therein at an easy pace
Recognising interconnectedness
In time becoming one with That oneness
Entwined forever in divine embrace
Flicker in space

18.32
“Hearing ultimate Truth,
the dull-witted man is bewildered
The wise man hearing Truth
retreats within and appears dull-witted”
What a pleasant surprise!
Let us assume we are wise!
(23-August-2019)

Verse 18.32 revisited on 05-February-2022
When divine wisdom in heart is sown
The hermit’s words sound like a koan
People bewildered at the monk’s delight
Bliss which he says cascades day and night
Recognition that we live in the womb of God
When affirmed leaves the populace overawed
Talk of hidden conduits with this here body form
Within which pulsates magnetic bliss currents warm
Ascension through octaves of love infusing compassion
Vibrant void like joyous stance an ever present meditation
Truth of oneness when the rest feel poignant separateness
Effusive reverence when recalling being touched by God’s hand
Open secrets hidden in plain sight most people cannot understand

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
- Werner Heisenberg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here, within this lucid dream, we call life
Stuporous is light of our awareness
We wish to be joy rife but thrive on strife
History shows no shift in consciousness
Both evil and good co-exist on earth
Our head and heart too, feel separateness
Beginning with ourself, to reclaim mirth
We keep thought flow slow, entering silence
Our heart expands, beyond feeble form’s girth
Distilled calm reveals essence of presence
Being but our soul, in heart all aglow
We reclaim thus our self’s luminescence
Our free will chooses to meld with love’s flow
Love employs no force, so it’s up to us
There remain no seeds of desire to sow
Poised in the void, earth life does not nonplus
We stand erect, aligned with love and light
Going where God takes us, without a fuss
Time’s now to awaken spherical sight
As bliss cascades within, through day and night

Body bondage, bane becomes boon
In slowed down vibrations we swoon
A realm to hold still awareness
That love’s embrace, may heart cocoon
We begin with separateness
Next step interconnectedness
Compassion then makes our soul pure
Transcending to the That oneness
The journey’s long, since we’re unsure
Many a hardship we endure
We look outwards, everything sized
World of illusions holds allure
Desires approach, ego disguised
We act not as conscience advised
No wonder we sink into gloom
Remaining thus, until baptised
Turning to God, we give love room
Heart heals and we begin to zoom
Darkness instantly yields to light
Enabling bliss throbs to resume
Once we obtain spherical sight
Ensconced in rapture, day and night
Flame of awareness flicker free
Joy of freedom, our soul’s delight

“What is this strange place, we find ourselves in
We’re trapped in the open, yet free within”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As subject looking at object
Ego impulse makes thoughts suspect
Nudging us in paths self-serving
Scars on soul reflect this defect
Choosing ourself as deserving
Feral cravings clip our soul’s wing
Until we enter our heart’s womb
Therein to love beats, in joy swing
Separateness, ignorance tomb
Layer by layer, which we comb
Dwelling thereafter, in the void
As bliss anoints us with aplomb
No longer thus, by ego toyed
Vaporised self, is by love buoyed
Magnetic heat, rapture blissful
Transmutes soul; delusion destroyed

Holder of the flame of bliss awareness
Cognised by presence, in tranquil stillness
Each hue new, although generic code same
God is love; we may give Him any name
Filling voids within, with joy in fullness
Deluded is thought of separateness
Empathy births interconnectedness
We all are one, this life play but a game
Holder of the flame
God in-dwells all forms, as the That oneness
Love, light and power, endless blissfulness
Steady resolve, with God-connect our aim
Set aside ego urge, which is to blame
Transmuting to luminous Godliness
Holder of the flame

Ego binds us in narrowness
Veiling the throb of bliss
Delusion is separateness
We sense something amiss
Once thoughts rest, we are free
Head-heart with love agree
In childlike, playful spree
Earth life grinds
Ego binds
